Hey all, how many watts can I get out of an old RF 40x2 amp. And is it 2 ohm stable when bridged mono?
about 817.3659874512032587453698741 wattsessssssss,seriously man we do not have espn:laugh:Hey all, how many watts can I get out of an old RF 40x2 amp. And is it 2 ohm stable when bridged mono?
this is what you got, there was punch 40, 40i, 40ix, 40x2. they just didnt change the amps design as frequently as they do today.According to the owners manual it Dynamic power(14.4volts) is 175watts mono @ 4 ohms80 watts x 2 @ 2 ohms,60 x 2 @ 4 ohms
Power at 12.6 volts is 20 x 2 @ 4 ohms
40 x 2 @ 2 ohms
80 x 1 @ 4 ohms
Yes,Rockford were great amps then.They could achieve great thing so long as you didnt starve them of power/voltage...here is a link to the owners manual...its a pdf file

i agree, im from the os and it sickens me what has happened to amplifier ratings. wiped out a few competition classes along the way. no more 100w, 250w, 500w classes. that *****, the 100w class was my personal favorite. you had to be very creative to do well in that class.i wish all amps were rated like that today....

Technically NO...But I ran mine at 2ohm bridged and it screamed.It worked but I was dumb then.I figured if it couldnt handle it..then the fuse would blow.Ive had a couple that held at and 2 ohm bridged but did have 1...a punch 200 dsm that only lasted about 3 months at 2 ohm then finally gave out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif...I personally wouldnt try it now on such a lovely ampHey all, how many watts can I get out of an old RF 40x2 amp. And is it 2 ohm stable when bridged mono?
